2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Black Lives Matter! Period. Therefore I Have Altered my Primary Intentions. [View all]The Velveteen Ocelot
(115,601 posts)I generally prefer not to choose or reject a candidate on the basis of the behavior of some his/her supporters, especially in the early, rather disorganized days of a campaign. Bernie's campaign is just getting started, and it got a whole lot bigger much sooner than anyone expected. Who are or become his supporters is very likely to change and grow in the coming months. In any event, my support for any candidate will be based on the positions of the candidate, who is who he is and not who a few loudmouth Internet scribes seem to be. I have been holding off, watching to see what develops, but I'm leaning more and more toward Bernie. The notion that minority voters won't support him is, I think, very premature. But hey, if it's Hillary (D-Goldman-Sachs) for you, that's your decision.
